Yesterday, was the International Day of Happiness. This year the theme was to focus on what we have in common, rather than what divides us. ⠀
⠀
When I was younger I was always around water - either in our backyard pool, competitive swimming, rowing or lifeguarding. And as I’ve gotten older, I find I seem to be at my happiest when close to the ocean. ⠀
⠀
This past trip to Maui our eldest really got into exploring the reefs and looking for sea life - one day I nearly had to drag her out of the water as we were both shivering from being out there so long! Even under water you could hear the excitement in her voice as we saw different types of fish, sea urchins, eels and turtles. Sharing an experience like that with her couldn’t have made me happier💕.⠀
⠀
Happiness is an extremely personal and subjective emotion, and in no way am I suggesting you need to travel to be happy. But I do believe that investing time and energy into shared experiences can lead to deeper connections and greater happiness. ⠀
⠀
Would you agree? What makes you happy?⠀
